my hypothesis is that the one with several + divots in them were used to transport hot embers for controlled burns. it woulda been a necessary tool for clearing out large areas of land to set up camps and villages
5:10 Rocks C. taught me those red stones, when they are ground flat, where used to make red paint. 7:10 that my friend is a great knife blade with a perfect uniface! 8:57 that is a museum quality nutting stone! I really want to see your design for an arrowhead sluice box! Brilliant! FYI: I refurbish lures if you want to sell/give them to a good home.
One reason for the holes in the rock could be from the river mussels themselves ( if they are a boring type of mussel or mollusk ). This could account for the number of holes and their placement. Indigenous may have found them along the beach line and then turned into tools, perhaps. Like you said Clegg, we’ll probably never know for certain. 😊 Oh and by the way, the “ wonky “, arrowhead probably spun the whole shaft as it was shot. Cool finds!
Just wondering on the engraving of the coin. Possibly turn it right side up, so that the lettering is in the same position as the head of the coin. You might be looking at it upside down. The engraving could be a “J” instead of a “B”... looks like it’s JSW. “J” as first lettering, “S” would be middle initial and not quite sure what the funky one in the middle is which would be the person’s last name, but looks like a “W.” Great find!!
WHILE I WAS LIVING I ST. AUGUSTINE THERE IS AN OLD LEPER ISLAND THAT WAS USED AS A CONFINEMENT AREA NEER MY OLD HOME * WE MADE OUR WAY OUT THERE ONCE AND FOUND SOME OF THE FIRST EVER MADE CLOROX BOTTLES AND A FEW OTHER OLD BOTTLES AS WELL !!! I THINK SOME WERE MEDICINE BOTTLES AND ANTISEPTIC BOTTLES I THINK !!!
Mike Lites There were mounds all over here also. Most were destroyed by farming and industry long ago. What few are left, are very protected. But I hunt near where mounds were located.
love your vid! You made me feel that I was along with you. great job man! I've been looking my whole life and I have about 50 points , mostly broken. I'll never give up!
@@cleggsadventures 8 years of them. I'll admit that I miss it. Digging bottles and walking creeks replace that now. I notice that there are some vets in this community and I can relate why.
Same here brother. I did 7 years. Thought I wanted to get out but now I miss the brotherhood. Hard to explain to folks that have never served. It’s like now I’m always trying to find something to do and have a purpose besides work. This keeps my mind busy and kinda gives me a goal to see how I can grow the channel.
@@cleggsadventures I was point man for two deployments. Out front looking for IED indicators. I was good at it and I miss that. You mentioned Purpose and I know what you mean. I'm replacing the hunt for IED's with artifacts. I like this reward a lot better! I'm sure you do as well.
Darrel Colburn Thank you. You know.... if the 1st Sargent would tell me to dig sand, I’d hate every second of it and be tired in an hour. But, when I’m looking for stuff, I can go all day and be upset when I have to stop.
Nobody knows what they were used for, there are only theories... many theories. There just haven’t been enough studies done on them. You can read about them here and their theory of purpose. If you have any theory of your own, I’d love to hear them, I’m always thinking of what they were used for. Thank you for watching 👍 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupstone
Awesome adventure n vid Scott....treasure trove down there on the river!!! Loved the nut stone n hematite. I don’t find much up here in central Ohio... GR8 points, pottery ...triangle is GR8. Don’t know if I commented on ur last vid but that silver engraved coin was spectacular!!! Keep on the cool stuff stay healthy bud 👊🏻
wow, what a nutting stone. Been following you since your first video, you have improved greatly. Try going with the black borders, might look pretty good
I've always wondered what nutting stones were used for, whatever it was that ones a killer! I'm hoping this summer to find an intact point. I'm fairly new to this and have to find a spot or campsite to sift and so far I've found a couple of scrappers, a bead and a broke. Watching your videos is an inspiration to me.
Scott, what awesome finds! That nutter is amazing! Beautiful points and blade, too. I do love the pottery shards! And isn't that a wonky old bottle? I can't wait till you implement the slide, that'll be interesting! Take care!😊
I’m starting to lean towards the idea that, maybe when one hole got wallowed out to a large size, they had to start a new one. All I can figure. Or they were cracking a lot of nuts
Allan Peck I pondered this over and over. The only thing I can think of is, maybe the holes got larger with use and once they got this size, they had to start a new hole. We my never know.
Great finds!
Thank you much Katie.👍
Thank you for taking me along.
Any time!
Thanks Scott.
Very Much Appreciated 👍

I still like watching your adventures even if they are 3 years old
Much Appreciated
I find a lot of them bottles, don’t ever keep them tho. I never knew how old they were. Thank you.

Michael Meisberger Thanks you. I’m gonna try something with that slide when the mud clears off. 👍
Michael Meisberger ~I watch Rocks C too.👍
He has a very good 😊 channel ‼️😎🇺🇸
Nice nutting stone! Lots of great finds. Stay safe.
Norma Ferro Thank you. You stay safe too Norma.👍
8:31 no disrespect but when I saw the washed stone I had to laugh and think it was a ancient bowling ball.
Looks like modern machinery stone workings
Jason Nester yes, just above.

They’re a mystery for sure. 👍
Just found your channel some nice finds man I subed

Nice hunt!!

Was told this by someone else as well. Thank you much 👍. Was told it was a “Love Token”
Judy, a guy also told me that the little chip that’s missing, is probably where there was a loop soldered on, for a chain.
@@cleggsadventures yes, I thought the same thing.
Another good show, entertained as always.
Blue Crow Thank you 😊
Wow I’m sad to see the tires, blocks & trash that’s been dumped.
It’s not dumped, it’s mostly from floods. Stuff washed from people’s yards and parks

I find bottles every now and then
one of the best pitted hammer stones I have ever seen
RockHunter Mark Thank you👍
Fun video. Glad to see your subs growing, Scott.
Ordinary everyday guy Thank you so much 👍
Scott, where do you go to find out the river level, waterup or down? great site. i enjoy them al
lot. good jab.
I look at this website.

PERHAPS NUT stone is for grinding down pigments to make paint powders and so on?
Down here in Louisiana we look for mounds...if you can find the mounds you got a glory hole!!
Mike Lites There were mounds all over here also. Most were destroyed by farming and industry long ago. What few are left, are very protected. But I hunt near where mounds were located.
Awesome finds Scott, especially the nutting stone!
Jason Scott Thanks Jason 👍
Could it be used for a marble game?
Your guess is as good as any 👍
@@cleggsadventures thanks!
Awesome day bud!
wvdigrrr Thank you much 👍
Great video from old reliable honey hole
Craig Littler always something down there. 👍 Thanks guy
love your vid! You made me feel that I was along with you. great job man! I've been looking my whole life and I have about 50 points , mostly broken. I'll never give up!
Caton Domke Thank you👍. Keep on looking.👀
Man thats the best nutting stone I have ever seen. Great finds!
Thanks Frank, there are a lot of them in there but that was definitely one of my favorite ones.👍
Full Battle Rattle and ready to embrace the suck! I like your editing style. Its creative.
Frederick W. Thanks guy👍. Sounds like you’ve been in those 0500 formations.

Good vid, nice nutter. Looks like you were having a good time. Looked like a Soldier out there.

There ya go! Lead be example 👍
Awesome video bud my theory on the nutting stones is used for fire starting with a bow drill
James Gorrell I’ve heard that theory also.👍
How will I know it’s flint?
It’s smooth, hard, almost “glass-like
What are nutting stones exactly?
Nobody knows what they were used for, there are only theories... many theories. There just haven’t been enough studies done on them. You can read about them here and their theory of purpose.

Brian* Buckley Woods Man Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching 👍
wow, what a nutting stone. Been following you since your first video, you have improved greatly. Try going with the black borders, might look pretty good
Townsend Walton Thanks for your continued support. I’ll try and figure out the borders but I’m doing all this from an IPhone 👍
I've always wondered what nutting stones were used for, whatever it was that ones a killer! I'm hoping this summer to find an intact point. I'm fairly new to this and have to find a spot or campsite to sift and so far I've found a couple of scrappers, a bead and a broke. Watching your videos is an inspiration to me.
Raymond Nelson Thanks Raymond. Hope you have much luck and find a nice one 👍
You should have went “ AWE FOLKS” when you found the bottle
William Arnett thanks for watching. That’s a whole other channel.👍
Scott Clegg yes sir it is. Well I enjoy ur channel every time I see one of your video’s. Keep up the great work my brother
Thanks guy, hoping to get out again soon.
Scott, what awesome finds! That nutter is amazing! Beautiful points and blade, too. I do love the pottery shards! And isn't that a wonky old bottle? I can't wait till you implement the slide, that'll be interesting! Take care!😊
Cynthia Swearingen Thank you. The slide sluice is working in my mind. I’ll come up with something 👍
Is that a smart car?? Never seen a vehicle that takes a key by the gear shifter
Mike Lites Yea, it’s a 2005 Mercedes Smart 450. Fun little car and 52 MPG.👍
Thanks Wonder how they ground in the holes? Odd we still do not know what there use was .
Kevin Frederick I’ve read, there just hasn’t been enough studies done on them. Hard to say what they were used for. Thanks for watching 👍
And odd they needed more than one hole in a rock .Keep looking and posting
I’m starting to lean towards the idea that, maybe when one hole got wallowed out to a large size, they had to start a new one. All I can figure. Or they were cracking a lot of nuts
La. Cadillac emblem
Robert Wise Thanks guy👍 I had no idea what that was.
I live on the Ohio River and would love to know that part of the river your doin this at. Could you please tell me
net p I am around Tyler County
Thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate it
Seeing that nutting stone I thought the same as you - If they rounded off antler billets in those holes why were their so many holes in one stone?
Allan Peck I pondered this over and over. The only thing I can think of is, maybe the holes got larger with use and once they got this size, they had to start a new hole. We my never know.
95% of the ones I find are sandstone. I have some small hardstone ones but the holes are usually not so big.

Donald Ross another good theory 👍
